I thought it was 31" x 10.5" but no doubt someone far more educated in such matters will confirm

Hi

The standard rim /tyre is 225 /75 /15 on the XJ.

I’ve just fitted 235 /75 /15 on mine and they seem to work well.
I don’t think I would like to go any wider on a standard rim.
Rem: - that make the width and the diameter about 10mm bigger.

Try http://www.valuetyres.co.uk/quotation/o ... ted=fitted

They have a good selection; I had mine fitted, they send round a man in a van who came all prepared he fitted them on newly powder coated wheels and balanced them all in with the price.

Can’t ask for more!

yup - what gazjeep said. 33s at 12.5 wouldn't be doing the tyre much good.

At the risk of getting boring ...

This is for BFG MT's some manufacturers are slightly different but it gives you a guide.

7"

Thats what ours are  

The Doc will no doubt confirm

31x10.5"
BUT, its not just the width but the profile as well, a 10.5 wouldn't fit on a 7" rim if it was a small sidewall tyre.

Remember, this is a guide. Slight bending of accepted practice should be OK.

8.5" ------ 10.50"-12.50"
10" ------ 12.50" and Up


P-Metric Size ------ Actual Tire Width ------ Actual Tire Height
15-inch rims    
205/70R15  ------    8.7 inches          ------   26.2 inches
